February existing home sales report

Existing homes sales dropped 9.6%. All cash sales came in at a record 33% increase. The national medium home price dropped 5.2% over last year. Investors are buying up homes and taking advantage of low home prices.

Rates and home values are very low. Investors are taking advantage of this, why aren't you? The time to buy is now.

I've heard the response of I'm not going to buy because the market is down and I'll get less for my home. Your $100,000 home lost 5.2 % so it is now worth $95,000. The new home you are buying for $200,000 is now at a bargain for $190,000.
